1. [+347, -102] You can tell right off the bat that her personality must be hellish

2. [+292, -31] I'm an SNSD fan and Jessica does have a bit of a bad habit with her hands. I know that it's a joke but even as a fan, it's hard to watch her hit her members and shove them and such... Of course, I know that she doesn't have bad intentions but she should control herself even if it's a joke. Jessica and the other members might not have a problem with it but to outsiders, it's easy to misunderstand Jessica's jokes ㅠㅠ

3. [+236, -38] It is a bit off putting. Members can indeed joke with each other and stuff but hitting someone with your foot is... And in the last gif, you can see the other members trying to help Tiffany out but Jessica sits on her and pushes her down, making her fall over. It might be a joke to them but people can certainly misunderstand on Jessica's expressions alone.

4. [+145, -5] No matter how close you are, it still makes you feel bad when someone hits you on the head like that... Even when you know it's a joke, it just leaves a bad taste in your mouth...

5. [+115, -5] It's obvious it's a habit for her now. She might only do it as a joke with her friends now but it's a habit and that means you can do it unconsciously to anyone, anywhere. Jessica should really fix this immediately.

6. [+109, -8] Jessica's facial expression looks so mean in that gif of her hitting Hyoyeon on the head;;

7. [+64, -118] I know that those gifs don't look good but they look bad because they're taken out of context ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

8. [+22, -34] I'm a Sone and Jessica is not a mean kid by any means, you guys are being so mean. SNSD are just joking around, why are you hating on her ㅜㅜ Then what about when the other members play jokes on Jessica, does that make them bad people too ㅜㅜ The gif below is from when Yoona, Sooyoung, and Fany pushed down Jessica so she couldn't get back up. The next day, Sica cutely joked back to Fany as seen in the above gifs. Such a big misunderstanding of just a joke ㅜㅜ

i can understand you, what i cant understand is why you got so many downvote, i dont think many ppl here know much about third world countries. like when t-ara comes to Viet Nam , an article said that they were welcomed by thousands fans at the airport and a comment said that : do they( Vietnamese ) know what happpend ? as if we dont even have internet access lol i live in viet nam, and even though i dont belong to a rich or political family , only a middle class family in Hanoi , i've travelled abroad to what super show

I don't think so. North Koreans were making things for South Koreans at one point in time. It's on a case by case basis. There is some trade, I think. North Korea probably make their own phones though.

There are rich and poor everywhere. There are homeless people in the west and in South Korea too. Not everyone in South Korea owns a smart phone. Some people are still using the old handsets. In capitalist countries like India, you can find people living in horrible conditions.

Americans can talk with their disparity of wealth and their national debt which sees their government borrowing money from China, Japan, South Korea and other countries. The government uses the money to pay for the food stamps that about 40 million people need to survive, and to pay for weapons they can threaten North Korea with.

They pay off their debt and then they can look down their noses at North Korea.

I don't know what is happening in the backstage or at dorms, but you don't know it too. T-ARA members was joking like this with every member equally. You can find tons of gifs or videos, where they make fun from Jiyeon or Eunjung (so called main bullies) as well and in the same way they did with Hwayoung. -_- All the so called proofs was cut too. If you watched whole videos, you will see that it was mostly totally false, just jokes or accidents...

I'm not saying they didn't bullied her, because I actually don't know the true (as any other fan or anti around the world), but you're defending SNSD pranks and say bad thinks about T-ARA just because of rumors? You say SNSD gifs are cutted, but T-ARA's 5sec gifs can show whole relationships between members? Kind of silly, don't you think...

"If you're a fan, you probably know already. Jessica and Krystal aren't simply pretty, sweet, cheerful girls. Even while talking about sushi or cupcakes, when work begins, they focus to the point where it's scary, they say what they need to say, and they look straight at your eyes when talking to you. They remind me of the cheerful, girls with strong egos in Jane Austen's novels.

Jessica: Becuase I'm the type that expresses my opinions honestly, my first impression seems to be taken sharply. I've caused misunderstandings a lot, but I don't try to change myself because of that. Isn't being honest better than being fake? I just think they'll get around to understanding my honesty someday."

That’s great for North Koreans—at least those who can afford a mobile phone. And it’s even better for Egypt company which owns 75% of the infrastructure and enjoys profit margins of 80% and the Chinese manufacturers having a market for their out dated modelsNorth Koreans can’t do much with their phones: international calls are banned, internet access is limited to “a walled garden of scrubbed content taken from the real Internet”, and calls and texts are monitored by authorities.

Who are these 2 million subscribers? The service covering 14% of North Korea’s territory and 90% of its 24.4 million people. But in a country with average incomes of between $80 and $170 a month, only a fraction of North Koreans can afford it, Not counting bribes, getting a phone the official way costs between $100 and $300, depending on whom you believe.

if boys do same they are excused saying they must be close... yet for girl what a drag.. when u cut off small part of he whole picture anything and everything can look severely bad so, this kind of gif is a bit

Please watch a documentary on North Korea or read a book or something. Can you imagine having no concept of money or freedom?It is not as bad as they say, North Korea is actually a shithole.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8SAWKDRHZuw

yeah it's unfair to sica. these gifs are just one sided, some didn't show fully what happened next, like the so-called ''victims'' fighting back playfully or laughing away after being hit by sica~ I will cry tears of joy if sica hits me :') bwahahaha

that's how cool and REAL Jessica is. is behaves like who she is, and she always be herself. she doesn't change herself just because people dislikes something about her. it's like, whether if you like me or not, it's your problem, it's not like I did something bad. sica baby hwaiting! you're the best! ^^

Wow. So biased as fuck just because they have this cute image that they try to portray on the public. Dissapointed in Netizenbuzz users because most of the people here are sones. It's not that sones are not good, it's just PLEASE BE UNBIASED because it's REALLY FUCKING UNFAIR.

"Corruption is everywhere especially in the police force in all countries"

North Korea is considered one of the world's most corrupt nations, while South Korea is only roughly just half of what it is.

" Asians are generally smaller in terms of size compared to people in America but what does size have to do with if they're living happily?"

You do realize that young North Koreans are even shorter than Asians in general right? I've noted why, and it's because of the lack of food going on in there + it continues to stay bad.

"I would only believe that they are now living like HELL if I see pictures."

Wishful thinking. That would be like asking the Syrian government to show pictures of people they tortured.

The DPRK government does not like to show such things to the eyes of foreigners, yet alone even bother admitting it in front of everyone. That has been obvious for years and it doesn't take much research to find that information control/suppression is extremely tight, hence why foreign content is banned over there (which is also a grave offense).

They don't even like to show pictures of how bad their military really is and display only photos of parades, troops doing 'display training' or being around their dear leader.

"Maybe they just live more frugally and are more happier than us who live behind a computer.""

Accounts of people who've fled the country say otherwise, especially in the countryside. This includes even those from the military, the most loyal institute to the regime alongside the security apparatus.

Likewise, the number of North Koreans that have escaped the country since 1953 is estimated to be in the hundreds of thousands. South Korea hasn't seen a number of defectors anywhere even remotely close to such a scale.

Yup. I love SNSD but the bias here scared me a bit too. I am sure if this were another group, especially a group most people here don't like, they would be saying horrible shit about them in the comments.

They wanted the ones from the Swiss or something. But from their latest threats the Governments applied that embargo of luxury goods to North Korea as punishment. A ski lift is classified as a luxury good. China would be included as well or else the International Community would see them as aiding North Korea and their regime.

Thanks to the glory of communism, North Korea has what might be one of the lowest rates of car ownership in the world. Although the government doesn’t release official stats, the best estimate is that there are fewer than 30,000 vehicles on the road—in a country of nearly 24 million people. (Officially, private citizens can’t own cars, but those with government ties manage to.) it’s not uncommon to see the notorious black-tinted Audis, so beloved by Chinese officials, prowling around -- though most sedan-style vehicles seem to have been manufactured abroad sometime in the 1980s.

Let's see... Jessica has been friends with hyoyeon for like... 13 years (longest)? and friends with Sunny for 7 years (shortest)? or so? Correct me if I'm wrong. What do netizens expect? Them greeting each other politely and shyly shake hands? lmao. Even I do that to my friends who I knew in less than a year. Friends are close like that, it kinda shows how comfortable you are with each other. As long as the girls don't mind it, I don't see anything wrong with that..

wait wait waiiiittttt, I defend snsd but I never said a single bad thing about t-ara O____O

I said that because most people especially sone know the equal thing, I mean we don't know for sure but they deliver the image well enough to make people believe in their so called soshi bond.I come up with the bully thing to underline my other point which is snsd members are good friend. that's all, sorry

and I never believe about that bullying accident in T-ara esp that rice cake vid, I mean there are must other things going on. people hate t-ara because there are other scandals around them so.. (but I'm not an anti, I ship sunbyung)

Boy groups hit each other playfully all the time and I don't see anyone complaining. She doesn't even hit/kick them hard. smh, at this point you can tell they're just looking for excuses to hate.I mean Teen Top's way of showing their affection towards each other is 10x more violent...http://media.tumblr.com/b61c7ce435d50fe9c42a92b236cddef6/tumblr_inline_mlwfsbeYCT1rhe1ko.gif

As a SONE I kinda agree with comment no.2 but then again I've met a lot of people who are very similar to Jessi and how she "plays" with her friends and every single one of them I know actuslly mean well. I think there are just people with this kind of personality. Jessica herself knows how she can be (how can she not when she's nicknamed the "Ice Princess") so I'd guess she would know when to act this way and when to stop. I mean she's an adult for pete's sake.

And yes, I do believe she doesn't give much of fuck about these Knetz comments. She knows her fans and people who actually matter to her love and accept her this way.

I read 3 of the reviews and it's a bit more violent. Go figure huh? Obviously this person hasn't watched many hollywood movies lately because in the past couple of decades hollywood has moved away from sexually explicit to graphically violent. Seems violence has much less problem getting past the censors than sex does.

I think this is being taken to seriously. If they do have a problem than they would've spoken to her about it by now. Also there is a small chance that it could be a nervous habit she has when she's in public.

''every restaurant was totally empty, and they do have different kinds of them, from italian food to fast western food, just for "tourists".''All the restaurants are empty and there's a limit of choices when it comes to picking the meal you want. There's basically not much food.They also have their own version of Mc'donalds, but only foreigners are allowed to eat there or the upper class

There were A LOT of North Korean diplomats at my school and I've come to know a few things from NK from them.1. Only one child can accompany their parents to live abroad for a maximum of 4 years and that is because the government is afraid the people that go abroad might escape, so keeping other family members in NK whilst the others are overseas is like an insurance than they'll come back. My friend had to leave her little sister back in NK with her grandparents until she and her parents returned. 2. All these North Koreans in my school are upper-class and middle class, their families work for the government, so their reality is not the same as the reality of a North Korean in the countryside. They basically can't relate to the things that citizens in NK are exposed to and so when they hear these news about how NK is ''inhumane'' and ''a prison'', they cannot relate and understand. In conclusion, it is as bad as the media says, but not bad for the privileged. It's bad, no not bad, HORRIBLE for the everyday citizen.

yeah, I liked old boy compared to other live-adaptations but I don't get what you mean by you can't even compare the manga to it when it's based on manga.. of course ppl will compare it unless they never read the manga or don't even know it's based on one.

it was more a cross between Taken and other Korean Revenge movies than 'The Professional'. To call it a remake of the Professional is a stretch and a half lol. And even so, Hollywood has already brought the rights to 'The Man From Nowhere' and are planning to remake it.

no one said it was a new concept, that concept in it self has become a genre in film. Even 'the Professional' wasn't a new concept, it been done before. But critics agreed it was a fresh take on this concept and genre, hence why it's already become a cult classic and one of the highest rated Korean movies on IMDb.

China is communist. They make cars and car ownership is rising. China a communist country is the manufacturing center of the world. North Korea is communist, don't count out North Korea. NK used to be ahead of SK industrially at one stage. Natural disasters as well as political shenanigans including blue water blockade, freezing of its foreign assets, and trade sanctions has restricted North Korea in the last couple of decades. China too once faced mass starvation at one stage and had an agrarian economy - look how quickly it transformed and is now lending money to the US. Don't underestimate these communist countries.

A lot of Africa has got no electricity and very low rates of car ownership. Why are people always picking on North Korea when they ignore the continent of Africa and its lack of prosperity despite its wealth of natural resources unlike North Korea.

LOL for me, the fact that they act like this regardless of camera and image does in fact prove that they are ALL close. The groups always minding their behavior in front of cameras are the ones with no personal relationships....only professional ones!! Soshi, FIGHTING! SONE 4ever! :)

Now, how'd I know that the comments would be full of people making excuses for Jessica and saying how "GorJess" she is? She's not. She's whiny, rude lazy and immature, and her voice is ridiculously high pitched and nasal. Sometimes I'm ashamed to admit I'm a Sone because of her.
